If the buyer pays for all of the shipping before you have a chance to combine it you will pay fvf on all of the shipping that is paid.

I spend an hour on the phone with a rep. She told me that the FVF will be on each listing sold and it is up to the seller to refund the difference if they wish, but the eBay fee will be taken first.

What?

So you're saying an Ebay rep told you that Ebay is taking their final value fee on the shipping listed in each auction, regardless of if you combine shipping in an after auction invoice or not.

I recently had a guy from England win 20+ lots from me in one auction. The Ebay invoice before I combined was over $150 in shipping costs. I reduced it to around 30 bucks. Is Ebay going to take their 8% out of the $150 instead of the $30?
